When renting a semi-trailer, it is important to ensure you have the best trailer to fit your needs. Renting the incorrect style dry van or flatbed trailer can lead to downtime with deliveries and pick-ups. Here are five items that are overlooked when renting a trailer and questions to ask yourself to rent the correct trailer.
1. Correct Style of Trailer for the Product
What are you hauling? That will determine the interior of the trailer.
2. Correct Door Style
Do you need a roll-up door or swing door trailer? This is important for loading and unloading the trailer. Especially if it will be sitting at the dock for any length of time.
3. Vented or Non-Vented Trailer
Will the heat affect the goods in the trailer?
4. Not Getting a Trailer with Logistic Posts
Do you need posts to attach to, and if so, what distance apart do they need to be?
5. Plated or Non-Plated Trailer
What is the trailer lined with, especially if you are hauling food? Is it a food-grade trailer?
